I installed my Baja Designs fog light. The brackets are heavy duty and well designed. I still need to aim them and get some night shots. I couldn't be happier with them. Thanks @Rick@FreedomMotorsports. I wont go into the wiring since I wired mine to use one switch for each set.

S2 Pro wide cornering ambers on aux 5
Squadron Pro wide cornering on aux 4
Squadron Pro spot on aux 3

Here's the highlights of my install. Your results may vary.

The brackets use one existing bolt on the bumper brace.

The bracket is held the the factory 8mm bolt and two allen head bolts (4mm) and 10mm nylock nuts. The bracket faces the rear. If you try to install it facing forward the middle lights hit the bumper. I also found it was easier to mount the lights on the bracket first.

I dropped the skid plate to run my wires behind it. Its just two 13mm bolts by each tow hook and two 15mm bolts in the back.

The light output is incredible.

Curious for night shots too. The way Baja Designs designed the kit was to have the spot closest to the center and the driving/combo or wide in the center. Personally I would think how you did it would blend in the light into the center better. Would be interested to seeing how the pattern would look if you had time to move them around.

Looks good. How was the mileage on the trip. Can not wait for night shots.

I initially had my light brackets facing forward and ran into the problem you describe. Even with them facing rear the clearance is close.

I left the outside S2 lights facing forward and they stick out of the bumper a bit and I think that gives them better light spread to the sides.

Looks good! Should be doing mine this week. Any reason why you didn't use Aux 1-3?

I used aux 3 and 4 for the Squadrons because they are rated for 10A and aux 5 for the S2s because it's rated for 5A. You should always use the lowest rated switch possible as long as the draw is less than the switch is rated for. This leaves me aux 1 and 2 rated at 15A and aux 6 rated at 5A for future items.

Does the kit include wire and connectors to run from the lights to the upfitter wire bundle? Just want to have things ready to go.
